VT Deluxe Talkbass group purchase?

Too many decisions... How much is the VT deluxe going to be? I found the bass driver programmable for $160.

How are the sounds differences? I'm not planning on doing any gigs or recordings. I'm just looking for something to add some character to my basses.

Geddy Fender ( passive)
Fender Jazz ( active )
Victor Bailey acoustic ( active )

I hope someone can help shed some light so I can either go with the pre-order or go for the bass driver programmable.

April or July seems so far away!

Thanks!
This thing is supposed to model Ampeg amps. If you want to know how it sounds, find a SansAmp VT Bass. This pedal is that, but programmable. If you're not sure, maybe you should wait until it's actually released so you can play with one.
 
We're well above 20 - I'll know the final number from TPB after the window closes, but we were at 19 on Tuesday. By my figuring we're at about 25 now.
They're happy, we're happy. I love a win/win outcome.
